Spatially explicit population model can improve pesticide risk assessments in agricultural landscapes

A team of international scientists and risk assessment experts has developed a foundational blueprint for an innovative population model designed to improve environmental safety testing for agricultural pesticides.

The tool, named APODEMUS (A POpulation Dynamical spatially Explicit Model of the wood moUSe), was recently published as a "Formal Model"—a new article type—in the Agricultural and Environmental Modelling journal. ...
